Updated October 2022: school moved/extended to the site on another side of the park - A large park with easy walking both across and around the track (mainly for horses) with lots of old trees, plenty of birds and wildlife, Alfreton Cricket Club (where you can often watch matches in the Summer) and Alfreton Hall at the other end. Various entrances and exits at different intervals around the park. At certain times (dog training lessons/cricket clubs etc) parking verge is quite busy but there is turning space further up and a car park to the left but currently only surfaced with big stones that don't do tyres a lot of good. Dog bins on either side of park and plenty of benches at different intervals to rest on.

The history of the estate goes back to Norman times, but by the 17th century it was owned by the Morewood family, who were linked to local industry, mainly in coal mining.

The parklands and gardens date from the mid-18th century onwards.

The house itself is now in use as a restaurant, conference and wedding venue.
